A little housekeeping… stitched with love

Dear Châtelainers,

It’s been a few weeks of quiet behind-the-scenes work—and we wanted to share what’s new in the Châtelaine library.

Nothing flashy, but all designed to make your next project start just a little smoother:

• All material lists on Google Drive now include the design name: So it’s easier to see what belongs to what—check it out Google Drive.

• Material lists are now attached to every pattern: Except the former freebies—those are coming soon!

• Bundles now include material lists too: For the first time ever. We know a lot of you were hoping for this!

• Titles have been cleaned up for clarity: We’ve simplified the names to make them easier to read—and easier to search. While we were at it, we also updated many of the search photos for a clearer, more beautiful browsing experience.

• Smarter tagging: You can now find designs more easily, even if you only remember part of the name. Small change, big help.

We know how precious your stitching time is. These tweaks won’t change the patterns you love—but they’ll help you spend less time searching and more time creating.

With love,

Ela & the Châtelaine team
